- rare Cobra mag wheels

Any opinions on the X342 GT-40 engine in a Cobra?

Any other opinions and/or observations on this Cobra?

I'm also considering the purchase of a 2002 Unique 427 with a 331 roller/stroker motor, which as advertised here on ClubCobra - 2002 Unique 427 Cobra

Any contrasting opinions between these two Cobras?

Thanks for any and all input!
